My NEWEST graphic novel MY AUNT IS A MONSTER is here!!
A whimsical adventure-comedy graphic novel full of twists, turns, travels and tap-dancing flamingos! A lil orphan girl with big dreams discovers a long-lost aunt - a former world’s greatest adventurer presumed dead due to a “secret” (hint: the aunt is a literal blue furred beast). When news of a rival encroaching a lost kingdom arrives on the aunt’s doorstep, an adventure of a lifetime begins: containing spies, whales, buff nannies, and invisible creatures with a bad habit of chewing.
Out now in all libraries and bookstores.
Transcript edition coming soon.

Leading Aegis releases tonight at midnight!!
In a world where Captain Carolina Trace could’ve been an indentured worker, or a soldier for a corrupt government, she chose the freedom of piracy instead. But what the rest of the world doesn’t know is that she’s cursed, and bound to her ship, Omen, for all but a few hours at a time. When her most recent quest to break the curse puts her on a trajectory to cross paths with Ophelia, a fugitive doctor, and Wyatt, a Sovereign soldier, she might just have to reevaluate the things that are most important to her.
What is she willing to sacrifice for her freedom? And what is she willing to sacrifice when her freedom isn’t the only thing at stake?

“—Because for so long he’d been looking, and yet here it was. Right in front of him. It felt like finding a home he didn’t even know he had.”
this may or may not be a subtle nod for secret and kae to finish endless garden PUH LEASE
that one scene where hic and jack and talking on the ledge is something I’ve wanted to draw for a while, and I happened to had the motivation to draw an illustration + comic thingy so here she is (will I make a comic of the full scene? Perhaps perhaps)
Anyway @hijacksecrets and @vindikaetion absolutely no rush I just wanted to appreciate your stupid amazing writing ily

Sept 2023, bookbinding of The Wine-Dark Sea by @moorishflower.
Marbled paper by @aetherseer. Design notes under the cut. Fic link in reblogs.
Design notes: The codex design was largely driven by the red and black marbled paper handmade by Æthereal Press and the work's theme of embracing darkness, both the literal darkness of the ocean and space and figurative darkness of what is feared and unknown. Aether generously gave me scraps of the paper I used here for both the cover and endpapers, which reminded me immediately and compellingly of blood in black water, so of course I made an edgy tiny book with it. Some of my friends also gave the opinion the cover looks like stylized wounds, which is again quite appropriate for the fic.
Fun new stuff I tried on this one:
stitched a strip of scrap cloth for faux endbands (looks good)
stenciled title (good try, bad choice of paint)
layered bookcloth design (excellent, much easier than expected)
Octopus illustrations are Octopus macropus (title page) and Octopus vulgaris (epilogue) by Comingio Merculiano in the 1896 monograph Cefalopodi viventi nel Golfo di Napoli (sistematica) by Jatta Guiseppe, accessed via Wikimedia Commons.
Materials: Covers use rayon Italian bookcloth, archival bookboard, marbled paper, cardboard scrap, handmade paper, pH-neutral PVA, machine cut-stencil and acrylic paint. Laser printed text on archival paper; bound with 25/3 linen thread, 100% beeswax, cotton scrap, and cotton cheesecloth mull.
